Given the amount of air-time and ink Tim Tebow receives, it’s easy to forget he’s a rookie back-up for the Denver Broncos – and possibly not the No. 1 back-up.

But alas, his preseason performance in a 24-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys Monday night, still made him the star of conversations across the sports world. The rookie quarterback was even the cover photo for nfl.com Tuesday morning.

Tim Tebow completed 6 of 7 passes for 91 yards while Broncos back-up Brady Quinn led all three quarterbacks completing 8 of 14 passes for 120 yards and one touchdown.

During the rapid fire question portion of the Mike and Mike in the Morning show, ESPN host Mike Greenberg asked his guests, NFL analysts Cris Carter and Herm Edwards, if Tim Tebow will make all the experts eventually eat all their words. Both Carter and Edwards seem to believe in the former Florida Gators quarterback.

Herm Edwards – “Personally I hope so because I think he’s good for football [with] everything he brings to the table. What he has to do is help himself and become a better player inside the pocket. As ruggard as he is, as tough as he is, the leadership skills he has, you have to play inside the pocket because if you continue to play outside the pocket you’re gonna get hit and these are big guys hitting you defensively. He showed some things last night you liked. He moved the team, he moved the chains, and at times he looked like a rookie. And that’s what he is, a rookie quarterback with not a lot of experience.”

Cris Carter – He will. Eventually. Eventually the cookies are ready.

Carter was referencing an earlier metaphor about Tebow, where he said it’s too early for experts to make declarations about the young quarterback’s career considering he hasn’t been in the “oven” long enough.

So what do you think? Is it too early to make projections about Tim Tebow’s NFL career or have we seen enough to make an accurate judgement.
